wow, poppies already? that is quick. Our ground here is ust soaked. Anything I direct sow would have plenty of water :) I guess I should direct sow some things for fun. I just love thyme and it is so expensive pre-grown the last 6 pack I bought of plants was $10. It was one of those large ones but still too much $$. I think I saved a bundle just on CT seeds instead of plants. I plan to add a patio with CT in the cracks. We already have it between stepping stones but it is wolly thyme. I think the cheapseeds is mother of thyme since the flowers are pink. Karen

Well, I can see you are "pups"! Rueing your lost youth when you are forty?! Wait until your sixties! Then fears and worries are replaced by a sort of dreary grim reality. I admire those women ahead of me who are teaching me by their example how to age sucessfully and live their life fully to the last gasp. I chuckled yesterday in reading the obits ....one beautiful woman was remembered as "leaving this life full of the grace and dignity with which she had lived". Beautiful. Yet I couldn't imagine anyone saying that of me....more probably: She left this life kicking and screaming , trying to wring out the last drop from it! It is especially disturbing to feel that perhaps there are few dreams left to realize.....and worse, that those which have been realized have crumbed to dust through the use and abuse of days. There's an answer out there somewhere.....and I'm not going until I fully understand it!! LOL.

Have you ever recognized yourself in a book?
Q

I wouldn't go so far as to say I recognized myself, but at the time I read Anne Tyler's novel, Back When We Were Grownups, I certainly did share a lot of feelings and attitudes with the main character, Rebecca Davitch. I remember when she expressed the thought that she was living the wrong life, in a strange way I could relate to that - just had never thought of it that way before.

I have 9 more grafted plants coming from Thailand.. the thing about ordering from Thailand is that by the time you get your trees you've moved on and want something else... UGH!

LoL you went a little crazy..... your plant look great. I love the dark skin, I want one of those. I have not seen an older one so does the dark skin fade with age? S1 are first in line. That is great. Rick is always getting the first of the breeding.

Spacecoast, Believe me I hear you. Loud and clear, but for some reason it never sinks in. Just as I am telling myself that, enough is enough. Yet two more are on there way here. Crazy, I say.

These look like Tracy's trees? Atleast the variety that she has grown. Nosy, I know. Tell me to butt out.

I have to ask you, as I am curious. Is the enclosure you have around your pool, covered with screening or UV protected material? I hope you do not mind me asking. Looks absolutely gorgeous.

I believe that S1 is Source of Thai soco seeds (S meaning a name of individual)? Tracy is up on all of this stuff. She will be able to confirm it.

I like the mix. Is it a happy cat bark mix? The emerald group (crown, big arms, whatever) is on my list of all the skin variations I like the green skin. I also like big coarse branches. Also one has a tag that either says big e or big f. Like it either way. Good work

Rick, The last 4 are Tracy's trees. The others I got from a collector in Florida. The pool just has regular screen around it but it blocks out about 50% of the sun. Which is a good thing in Florida. You can tell the difference as soon as you walk outside the screen on the concrete pad.

Todd, The babies are in leftover gritty (poultry grit, Turface, Pine Bark Fines) mix that I already had made up with pea gravel on the top. The last 4 are in a mix of GS2, Course Perlite or Pumice, Fir Bark or Coco Chips. I think the BigF is my favorite.

Spacecoast, you inadvertently answered a query of mine! I've always wondered what the pool screen structures were for, now I know! Always thought it was to keep the next door cat from wandering around the pool area or to keep leaves out! Sadly we don't need those over here, not many swimming pools really and we don't get the consistently good weather either. We need patio heaters, lol. That said the temp here is mid 30's, phew, not used to this heat!

Beautiful plants and surrounds btw!

In genetics S1 denotes the generation uptained by self-fertilization (or selfing). But who knows what the adenium growers use the shorthand for. ;-)

Gill, The screens are to keep debris and critters out of the pool area. But they also block out sun. Pools that don't have screens are warmer than pools that do have screens.. It has been Sooooo hot here. It's been in the mid 90s with high humidity for what seems like forever..

Every time I say no more, I end up texting Tracy for a certain kind or style. Winter will be interesting placing all these.

Val I have it so bad I had to buy from Tracy. The tree will be here Wed. Can you put a country or state on your profile page you would go to it to make changes. We love to see where you are from and what your weather is.
